“Highly recommend! John took such good care of our dog Bandit while we were away. Even with the cold temperatures I knew he was taken out for walks multiple times and dressed accordingly. John updated me daily with photos and information about Bandits day. I knew he was spoiled and loved on the entire 9 days we were away. I also appreciated the fact that Bandit had company all day, everyday.”
About: I offer a calm, attentive, and personalized care experience for both cats and dogs in the Tysons, McLean, and Great Falls area. With over 6 years of combined experience, I take time to understand each pet’s rhythm — from gentle brushing and quiet companionship to playful moments and frequent photo updates. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets and give them lots of love and attention. On weekends, I love being outdoors—if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along for some fun and fresh air! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, keep the environment safe and clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular photo updates so you always feel connected. I occasionally offer boarding at my home for small dogs and cats who can peacefully coexist with my friendly resident cat. I do slow, careful introductions to ensure a stress-free stay. Please note that I do not board large dogs.
“Jorge and Alejandra were AMZAZING!! I have a very anxious girl (dog) Roo and they made sure she was very comfortable and felt right at home! They were great about sending updates and putting my mind at ease! Roo had a great time and was very tired when she came home! I felt very comfortable with her staying with them! They truly treated her like part of the family and I will be contacting them when needed again!”
“José was very careful to make sure he learned what Hazel liked and needed. He and his family provided a very calm and loving home for my anxious dog. The stay worked out well.”
“Musa and his family are wonderful with our dog, who can be quite quirky. He was extremely excited to see Musa when I dropped him off... which has never happened with a sitter before. Thank you for caring for him so well!”
“Aly was great at communicating. She sent a picture every day and responded to mr message right away. Definitely glad I found her. Thank you for taking a great care of Mocha”
“Jason and Becky gave my dog the highest level of attention and care. My dog is a shepherd mix with relatively high energy. They took the best care of him while I was gone for a few days.”
“I'm so pleased with how well Veronica cared for Baxter. He made new friends and I think he's a little bummed to be home! When I arrived to pick him up she was taking him and her dog for a nice walk, we passed them on the way to her house. He looked happy. I have no complaints and would use her again.”
“Susan took great care of our dog while we were gone. He is old and blind so she made sure to get out baby gates for him. She also made sure to keep me posted of what was going on with him and genuinely seems to love dogs! Would definitely recommend Susan for short or long-term care!”
“Absolutely amazing! My baby has special needs because he is diabetic, blind, deaf, and needs insulin injections twice a day. Caterine and Brian welcomed ninja with open arms and took the time with me to learn how to administer his insulin injections and all of his other medications. Their home was very clean, tidy, and warm. I was able to go on my work trip With confidence that ninja was in good hands and getting the care he needed. If you are looking for caring and loving dog sitters Caterine and Brian are it! Will definitely work with them again!”
“Great experience! We highly recommend Helena to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter. We left our 40-lb dog Calvin for a week with Helena without any issues. She took good care of him during our absence. Great photos as well. When our flight was delayed, Helena was totally flexible and understanding.”
“Christine is always my go-to for any short or long term boarding for Oreo! She was flexible with the late pick up time that I had set and also provided updates on how Oreo was doing throughout the days he was with her. I love how there are sometimes other dogs she is taking care of so Oreo has a chance to socialize and play while I am away. Thank you again to Christine!”
“Michelle & her family were great hosts for our pup, and were very accommodating for a last minute request. Getting videos and pictures of our dog running with Cinnamon (Michelle’s cute pup), were so fun to see. She gave great updates and we know that Elmer was well taken care of during his stay. He had a blast and we will definitely come back again soon. 😊”
“Clover came home from Andrew’s house relaxed, calm, and happy after a week-long stay. Andrew is great with communication and is an expert when it comes to dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Devora took such amazing care of Jones! I appreciated her consistent updates on how he was doing and loved receiving photos of him throughout the day. Jones had a great time too; he and her pup, Cha Cha, had a blast!”
“Han continues be the best for our dog, Sammie. Sammie genuinely is so excited to see Han and their love for each other is so great to see! Han is great with Sammie, and so flexible with the care. She is great!!”
“Sush and her family were extremely accommodating and able to watch London overnight with only 2 days' notice, which we were super appreciative of. It's clear that London was well taken care of... thank you Sush!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dunn Loring
This was my first time leaving my dog with someone new and it went wonderfully! Nicole gave regular updates with pictures which made my time away easy because I wasn’t worried about my baby. She even asked permission to take him to a friends BBQ, he loves to get out of the house. She took the best care of him in my place and I will absolutely use her again!
We had the pleasure of having Loreen S. watch our dog for 4 days and nights. What a joy it was to have her and her family taking care of our beloved dog. She sent us pictures and videos of her and her family lovingly taking care of her all the time. We loved getting them! It was such a relief to know that she was being so well care for. We recommend her to anyone who loves their dog and who wants to be assured that their dog will be lovingly cared for.
This was our second visit with Heather and a longer stay (just over a week). She and her family took excellent care of my boys, with daily updates. It’s always hard to leave my “babies” with someone, but I feel very comfortable with Heather because I know they’re safe and loved. Definitely recommend!
Mee Jeong truly saved our weekend when she agreed to watch our girls! We had a meet and greet before our set drop off time, and our girls warmed up to her immediately. Her dog, Daisy, was super sweet, and accepted our girls instantly. Through the course of our weekend, Mee Jeong provided daily updates, showing pictures of the walks they were going on, and updates regarding their eating, sleeping, playfulness, and walks. The girls looked ecstatic in every picture that was sent over, and I didn’t think they would want to come home with me! They were properly stimulated, and to the point of driving them home, they napped the entire way. I would be honored to have Mee Jeong watch our girls again!
Jason and Becky were absolutely amazing with Teddie! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. They sent so many pictures and regular updates throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how much fun he was having. Teddie had the best time going to the dog park, playing with their two wonderful dogs, and getting lots of love and attention. It was clear they treated him like one of their own, and he came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We are so grateful for the incredible care they gave him and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. We highly recommend Jason and Becky to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our boy! 🐾
We had a great experience with Youyou! She took wonderful care of my dog and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. My dog seemed happy and comfortable, and we truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents🩵

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Dunn Loring sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dunn Loring landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dunn Loring home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dunn Loring.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dunn Loring sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
